Performance
Accuracy
±0.25% FS TSL combined non-linearity, hysteresis
and repeatability.
Long Term Stability
At standard reference conditions the calibration will
not change by more than 0.1% FS per year.
Electrical Connection
Available options are:
• M20 male conduit with integral cable (PTX 7800)
• 1/2 NPT male conduit with integral cable (PTX
7801)
Cable length to be specifi ed on order (see Ordering
Information)
Cable Type and Wiring
Operating Temperature Range
• Process: -40°F to 250°F (-40 °C to 120°C)
• Transmitter: -40°F to 210°F (-40°C to 100°C)
• Cable (non-CSA models): -40°F to 176°F
(-40°C to 80°C)
• Cable (CSA models): -40°F to 167°F (-40°C to 75°C)
(See hazardous area approvals for restrictions)
Temperature Eff ects
For ranges 7.5 psi (500 mbar) and above, output will
not deviate from room temperature calibration by
more than:
• ±1% FS RTE over 15°F to 120°F (-10°C to 50°C)
• ±2% FS RTE over -5°F to 175°F (-20°C to 80°C)
For ranges below 7.5 psi (500 mbar) these values will
increase pro-rata with calibration span.
